Flint Fatal Drunk Driving Accident
I read in the paper today about a tragic Flint Fatal Drunk Driving Accident in Genesee County. According to police, an alleged drunk driver, in a pick-up truck, was travelling down Court Street when he allegedly struck a car heading south on Grand Traverse Street. One of the passengers in the car was killed and the other was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. Police stated they found alcohol at the crash site. Police continue to investigate this accident.
I am very sorry to hear about these tragic auto accidents and wish all the injured parties the fullest and speediest recovery possible. My condolences to the family of the deceased passenger for their loss.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims on their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured passenger can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No-Fault benefits will cover his or her medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. The injured party can claim these benefits even if he or she did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
Furthermore, for this type of accident, the family members of the deceased passenger may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits. This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services.
In addition, the car accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victims can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. Also, the family members of the deceased passenger may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused these car accidents. At the very least, the surviving family should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
Another possible claim for anyone injured by the drunk driver would be a potential Michigan dram shop case against the seller or furnisher of the alcohol before the accident.
An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victims with this type of claim. Auto accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
